We’re halfway through 2025, and your support has been nothing short of extraordinary. The chart below shows what you’ve made possible.

We’re currently in need of the following items, especially for families during summer break:

• Cereal
• Granola bars/Nutri-Grain bars
• Shelf-stable milk
• Mac and cheese
• Fruit cups and applesauce
• Peanut butter
• Single-serve snacks (Goldfish, pretzels, crackers)

Thank you for helping us keep kids nourished while school’s out!

Looking Ahead: Back-to-School Planning

We know it feels early, but we’re already preparing for our back-to-school event! In the coming weeks, we’ll be collecting supplies and backpacks to help every child start the year with confidence. Stay tuned for donation lists. Thank you for supporting this important tradition.

If you’d like to help right away, you can purchase back-to-school items from our Amazon wish list.

Hey, teens! Do you need volunteer hours? Do you want to build your resume for college, clubs, and honors societies? Do you have a special talent that the world just NEEDS to see? If so, consider volunteering for the LIFE Food Pantry this summer!

We can provide you with tasks to complete at the pantry or you can design your own project as your schedule allows — it’s up to you! Run your own food drive, throw your own fundraiser, write for our newsletter, create a video to promote the pantry, or use your photography skills to capture a pantry event. There are no limits to what you can do!

Sound like the best volunteer gig ever? IT IS! If you want in on this opportunity (and who wouldn’t?) contact us at 513-583-8222 or sign up online.

We hope to see you soon!

Many children in our community lose access over the summer to the free breakfasts and lunches they depend on during the school year. This situation is a serious burden on families that may already be struggling.

That’s why we’re focusing on collecting kid-friendly food items right now, like mac and cheese, peanut butter, granola bars, single-serve fruit cups, cereal, and shelf-stable milk. 

These simple, nutritious foods go a long way to help parents ensure their children stay healthy and fed throughout the summer months.

You can make a difference. Every item you donate brings comfort, nourishment, and relief to a local family. Let’s work together to fill the gap and keep kids from going hungry when school cafeterias close.
